Hi Ted,
I'm sorry I didn't address this sooner. Sometimes I seem to get scattered.
On the frames and miscellaneous chassis parts I use Mason (brand) single stage gloss black enamel. It holds up very well and provides a deep gloss.
I would not use this on a body panel...
If I recall, it's about $300 or so per gallon.

Hey Mark, You are 100% correct. I can no longer seem to upload photos. I have asked Ryan what may be the cause.
I start painting in a few hours

Finally I've figured out the photo posting issue. Pretty good for a guy who is for the most part camera ignorant.
Anyway, the body is now painted. Monday I'll start wet sanding. That's a time consuming task as most of you realize. I'll go to at least 3500 grit prior to buffing.
This project is finally coming together!

As I have become older, I have slowly (read: stubborn) accepted the fact I simply can't do it all... at least not as quickly as I once could.
Thus, when I need help, I am not fearful of asking

Nope, it's a "regular ol' Ford" transmission.

I had a blast today! This is the fun part- when it finally starts going together. Now for certain there are not enough hours in the day! I don't want to stop...
Today was spent primarily on the inside of the body. I insulate any areas that will not be seen once the car is assembled. Although this car will most likely never be (road) driven, just in case it does - the insulation makes a huge difference in canceling road noise.

Mike, what color is this car? I can't tell if it is black, Lyon blue or maybe dark green. Maybe my monitor just doesn't show it well enough to tell.
I would say like the others, it meets your high expectations!

I am far from anything that could be described as a photographer. It's Lyon Blue.

Still at it guys! Time, as you all know, is the rarest of commodities. Regardless, I'm making decent progress I suppose.
The doors should be painted very soon. I'll install them and do any final minor alignment that may be necessary and then start to install the top.
In the meantime, I'll complete the dash, etc. installation. Most of the work "beneath the hood" is done.
